- [Trading Rule #21 – Is Trading Like Losing Weight?](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/trading-rule-21-is-trading-like-losing-weight/): It’s frustrating, but progress in trading is not linear. When you lose weight, unless you are a complete psychopath and eat the exact same thing every day, your weight will trend down but some days you will be heavier than the previous day - partly poop storage and partly water retention.
- [Trading Rule #20 – Why Professional Traders Don’t Care About Risk:Reward Ratio](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/trading-rule-20-why-professional-traders-dont-care-about-risk-reward-ratio/): In Trading Rule #17, we discussed adapting your trading to volatility. One of the things we mentioned was adjusting your position size based on volatility.
- [Jigsaw’s Independence Day Sale 2026](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/jigsaws-independence-day-sale-2026/): To celebrate Independence Day, we have decided to run a quick sale. With some special deals for both new customers and existing ones.  If you are on the sidelines, now is the time to jump in at the best prices ever.
- [Trading Rule #19 – Sensible Use of Short Term Volume Profiles](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/trading-rule-19-sensible-use-of-short-term-volume-profiles/): I made it clear in lesson 18 that it was a bit “flaky” to say “long term volume profile works because the market has memory”. I stand by that. On the other hand, short term volume profiles work because of where people are likely to be positioned.
- [Market Intelligence V2 – Your Online Junior Analyst](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/market-intelligence-v2-your-online-junior-analyst/): In many "bricks 'n mortar" prop firms, the role of Junior Analyst is to do the research for the traders before the day starts. It's the reason I bailed out on Equity trading and moved to Futures.  A friend became an analyst for a lone trader, trading equities and he was one of four analysts for one trader. Admittedly, he was trading $30M of Boutique fund money but with Equities - figuring out which stocks to play on any day out of the many thousands, it's a lot of work.
- [Get Your Trading to an Institutional Level—With Big Discounts and Even a Payment Plan.](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/get-your-trading-to-an-institutional-level-with-big-discounts-and-even-a-payment-plan/): The Jigsaw Institutional Education program is the actual training a London-based proprietary trading firm uses to develop its professional traders. The course that gets prop traders ready to put real firm capital on the line.
- [You Asked, We Listened: Get Your Jigsaw Lifetime Package in Installments](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/you-asked-we-listened-get-your-jigsaw-lifetime-package-in-installments/): One of the most common questions we've received from traders looking at our lifetime packages has been the same: "Do you offer payment plans?"
- [Trading Rule #18 – Sensible Use of Volume Profile](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/trading-rule-18-sensible-use-of-volume-profile/): Let’s move on to something that’s key to using volume profile. Before we start, I want to suggest that from this point forward, whenever you read or watch anything on trading, I want you to ask yourself this question.
- [Trading Rule #17 – Trade Plan Meets Volatility](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/trading-rule-17-trade-plan-meets-volatility/): In the last 2 articles (Trading Rule #15 and Trading Rule #16) we discussed volatility and trade planning. But in trade planning, we missed out the “setup” part.Now, we’ve touched on this before. The FORMAT of your setup rules is the format that you like the best, the one you find easiest to read. Rules can be dynamic, for example “if x happens and a lot of buyers step in”.
- [Trading Rule #16 – The Painless Trading Plan](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/the-painless-trading-plan/): Chances are, unless you took the teacher an apple each day to school (my wife used to put dog poop in her teacher's desk drawer, bless her), then you probably do not have a trading plan.
- [Trading Rule #15 – Come for Volatility Before it Comes For You – Adapting – Part 2](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/trading-rule-15-come-for-volatility-before-it-comes-for-you/): The ES chart is quite interesting; look how many times volatility has shifted in the past 12 months.
- [Trading Rule #14 – Why I Quit Stocks (And What It Taught Me About Adapting) – Part 1](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/trading-rule-14-why-i-quit-stocks-and-what-it-taught-me-about-adapting-part-1/): I’m writing this on 1st April 2026, and will reference current events. If you had a good trading month in March 2026, chances are that you adjusted to the market. Kudos to you. Many got swiped out by the volatility and DJT’s random announcements. A new trading term has emerged: the “Scam Candle”.
- [Trading Rule #13 – Fooled By Numbers](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/trading-rule-13-fooled-by-numbers/): Anyway, it is very easy to be fooled with numbers. For example: Risk:Reward ratio
- [Jigsaw Support for NT8 Live Connection – Available Now](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/jigsaw-support-for-nt8-live-connection-available-now/): NT8 Live users can connect directly to daytradr today by creating a Tradovate connection type in daytradr. No bridge required. It works cleanly with the new feed, and you can get up and running immediately.
- [Trading Rule #12 – We Need To Talk About Trade Exit Strategy](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/trading-rule-12-we-need-to-talk-about-trade-exit-strategy/): “It is impossible to have a perfect trade exit strategy."
- [Trading Rule #11 – Discretionary Trading](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/trading-rule-11-discretionary-trading/): A lot of people split trading into 2 categories - mechanical “rules based” trading and discretionary trading.
- [Trading Rule #10 – Putting The Pieces Together – Part 2](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/trading-rule-10-putting-the-pieces-together/): At this point, you should be at the point where you appreciate that you need to get to know the market you are trading, like an old friend. That includes what triggers moves there. Most people call these triggers “setups”, we call them “events”. Simply because people associate setups with charts. Yet charts are just one source of events.
- [Trading Rule #9 – Putting Together A Development Plan – Part 1](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/trading-rule-9-putting-together-a-development-plan-part-1/): It’s our 9th post anniversary of trading rules. We are now going to start putting the pieces together so that after the next few posts, you can turn these lessons into action. 
- [daytradr V6.1 – With Market Intelligence. Maintenance Upgrade](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/daytradr-v61-with-market-intelligence/): For those that didn't use Market Intelligence yet - see below:
- [daytradr V6 – With Market Intelligence. Interpretation vs Information.](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/daytradr-v6-with-market-intelligence-interpretation-vs-information/): We are excited to announce today a game changer for futures traders - Market Intelligence in daytradr V6.
- [Day Trading Rule #8 – Forget the Day Job but Don’t Forget the Day Job](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/day-trading-rule-8-forget-the-day-job-but-dont-forget-the-day-job/): I got into this game when I was a high-earner who was being turned into a low earner by financial advisors. I had no intention of giving up my day-job running a software factory.
- [Day Trading Rule #7 – Everybody Wants to Trade the World](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/day-trading-rule-7-everybody-wants-to-trade-the-world/): Trading "the world" sounds daunting, until you grasp the vast universe of events that can move a market. Then the world shrinks to a speck. In trading lingo, "the world" is just charts; the "universe" is whatever sparks real reactions.
- [Day Trading Rule #6 – Learn To Trade Brain Hack](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/day-trading-rule-6-learn-to-trade-brain-hack/): It’s effectively a “brain hack”.
- [Day Trading Rule #5 – I did it my way](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/day-trading-rule-5-i-did-it-my-way/): You’ll end up trading in your own unique way. 
- [Day Trading Rule #4 – Choosing Your (Trading) Religion](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/day-trading-rule-4-choosing-your-trading-religion/): I got into trading because some dodgy financial advisors lost 30% of my net worth in a year. I figured that “If I’m going to lose money, it’ll be cheaper to do it myself - at least I’ll save on fees!”. 
- [Day Trading Rule #3 – What is Trading Edge?](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/day-trading-rule-3-what-is-trading-edge/): Trading Edge. You’ve heard the word but likely not heard a relatable explanation.
- [Day Trading Rule #2 – Knowledge alone is NOT power in trading](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/day-trading-rule-2-knowledge-alone-is-not-power-in-trading/): A lot of people might be thinking - “Rule 2 and no setup?” Or maybe, “Why not just do a single eBook with 100 rules in it?”.
- [Day Trading Rule #1 – Ignore The Grind Culture Doomsayers](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/day-trading-rule-1-ignore-the-grind-culture-doomsayers/): 10 years ago in trading, everyone was saying how easy trading would be. “Just give us $1,000 and I’ll tell you the setup”, they say. Then people like Jigsaw, John Grady and others bucked that trend with a dose of reality. That’s now gone round the X echo chamber, and it’s been picked up and amplified to almost comedic levels.
- [Day Trading Rules – The Beginning](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/day-trading-rules-the-beginning/): For a while, we’ve been quiet on pushing out “new stuff” - simply because we feel that if you are constantly fed information on trading, it’ll actually make it much harder for you.
- [How to Learn Order Flow Trading the RIGHT Way: 6-Stage Beginner Guide / Part 2](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/how-to-learn-order-flow-trading-the-right-way-6-stage-beginner-guide-part-2/): In part 1 of this article, we discussed what was likely 1 expected use of Order Flow Trading (reading pullbacks) and two that you might not have expected. One key point to consider before we continue. Notice that I said “reading pullbacks” and not “trading pullbacks”. This is one of those places where you truly start making trading your own. A pullback in an uptrend is like a V. You can take a trade when it’s going down the first slope of the V, at the bottom (if lucky) or on the way back.  It’s all about confidence and confirmation. If the market is still going down but you have a high conviction that this IS a pullback, then an early entry might be preferable as you think it might snap back at any time - so it’s a more aggressive entry. Buying the low - well, it’ll happen occasionally and sometimes the low of a pullback is very evident - often there’s clear absorption - but that doesn’t mean you’ll get filled. Better IMO to get in at market and pay up a tick. Then the way up at that point, you’ve seen the action on the way down, the turn and now - interested parties engaging upside. It’s still the same trade. The way I see it - you usually pay for confirmation in ticks. I’m saying this because you might be so focused on nailing the low each time and failing - you might miss the fact you are a total superhero of getting in 4 ticks higher as you see others join. That’d still make you a superhero - but we’d be getting into Superman vs Batman territory.
- [REPLAY: Elite Trader Q&A – The “Original Sin” That Kills Every Trader’s Progress](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/replay-elite-trader-qa-the-original-sin-that-kills-every-traders-progress/): Order Executions/Tape Reading - This aspect is the real flow of orders. It's the information we see in Time & Sales, Footprint Charts, Cumulative Delta. It is looking at market orders, either as they execute or historically. I guess this is the "true order flow". Every trade is a buy and a sell. We look at market orders because we consider them to be more aggressive. When someone trades with a market orders, they are giving up a price to get an instant fill. Limit orders on the other hand just lazily sit there waiting for a market order to hit them. Often these are market makers with no directional conviction. So we see market orders as being more significant.
- [Live Q&A with Elite Prop Trader + Order Flow Pioneer](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/live-qa-with-elite-prop-trader-order-flow-pioneer/): If you’ve been following the live sessions with Bogdan Stoichescu, you already know this series is different.

Session one covered the "upstream problems" they focus on - the foundations most traders never consider.
- [The Trading Drill That Never Stops](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/the-trading-drill-that-never-stops/): The response to our first professional trading drill has been incredible.

- [Some People Just Need a Hug (or a History Lesson)](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/some-people-just-need-a-hug-or-a-history-lesson/): I once read that dentists were more prone to suicide. It's since been debunked - but since hearing it - I've been extra nice to my dentist. In fact, when I had check-ups, my daughter used to come in and sit on my lap, while the dentist worked - the whole family has been going there for 18 years now!

- [Trading Clarity: The Rebel’s Guide to Seeing Beyond the Noise](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/trading-clarity-the-rebels-guide-to-seeing-beyond-the-noise/): Clarity in trading—it’s the elusive holy grail for traders of every level. You know - cutting through the "noise". Traditionally, “noise” has always referred to the seemingly random market moves that defy prediction. "Oh, I don't watch a 1 min chart - that's just noise" - OK - I get the concept. But here’s the kicker: just as much noise comes from inside our heads. It's hard to watch a market without forming opinions on "what 'they' are trying to do" - in the moment, based on pure intuition. Yeah - we've done it - it turned out just as well for us as it did for you! True clarity demands distancing yourself from this chaotic thinking, and that distance comes through rules. But not all rules are created equal. There are mechanical (universally understood) and discretionary (universally misunderstood) decisions to be made - and today, we are going to help you hone your discretionary skills with guardrails to prevent you from falling for your chaotic thoughts - you can reserve those for the dance floor.  Simplify Your Trading   Take a look into the decision making process of professional traders with this video training series that helps you make smarter trading decisions.

- [6 Misconceptions That Blind Traders —And How to Overcome Them](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/6-misconceptions-that-blind-traders-and-how-to-overcome-them/): If you’ve been trading for a while, you’ve probably felt stuck. Spinning your wheels, trying harder, and not getting anywhere is frustrating, right? Maybe you’ve convinced yourself that the solution is more knowledge, more tools, or uncovering some “secret” that only the pros know.Here’s the truth: none of that will get you where you want to go.The problem isn’t that you don’t know enough or aren’t trying hard enough. It’s likely to be one or more of these misconceptions - things traders believe that sound logical but hold them back. They point you in the wrong direction, like trying to ride a motorcycle with a blindfold on.
Let’s explore six of the biggest misconceptions that trip traders up—and how you can overcome them. Simplify Your Trading   Take a look into the decision making process of professional traders with this video training series that helps you make smarter trading decisions. Send Me The Free Training
- [Your Trading Roadmap: Cutting Through the Noise](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/your-trading-roadmap-cutting-through-the-noise/): A while ago—years really—I decided we’d put enough information out there on how to trade. Our Group Therapy sessions tailed off as I felt we’d said all we could or should say. On the one hand, it’s great for people to be immersed in trading and be fed information constantly. The flip side though, is that it gives people the impression there’s always more to learn, that there’s always one more thing that will push them over the edge into success.

- [Is it Time to Tame Your inner monkey?](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/is-it-time-to-tame-your-inner-monkey/): I had an interesting chat with a trader today. He has what it takes to make it, he's just a bit stuck. From where I sit - it seems that if he could just iron out his "off plan" game, he'd be profitable.
- [daytradr 5 Beta Update](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/daytradr-5-beta-update/): Just a quick note about the daytradr 5 Beta. Normally, during a beta, we release updates every couple of days. As of writing, it's been more than 4 weeks since the last beta.So what gives?
In version 5, we moved a lot of work to the GPU from the CPU. Partly because "why not?" and partly because we want CPU use reserved for peak times. Not particularly taxing.The process involved upgrading our code as well as other 3rd party "plug-ins" we use. These plug-ins support both GPU and DPI Awareness (to scale on 4k screens).Unfortunately, two of our plug-ins started fighting. Specifically, when DPI Aware was on. The symptom of this was REALLY high GPU usage - but not on the daytradr process but on a couple of Windows services that had to clean up the mess of their fight. Anyone who has used the tech support of any company will know this is a death spiral. When there are 2 products involved - then each company will neatly point the finger at the other. It's one reason we answer non-product questions in support at Jigsaw, so that you don't end up with Jigsaw and another company (e.g. data provider) pointing fingers at each other while you sit on your big fat problem.While I'm churning out the excuses - we also don't have the code for all 3rd party plug-ins. So it made finding the issue problematic. At one point, we even reviewed every line of code changed since March!Anyway - it was 4 weeks of having the entire team look at a single problem. That's a record in my career and one I don't want to beat. We are all now heading to Red Bull detox.It's now service as normal - we are pushing out a release today and I expect us to spend another 3-4 weeks in beta with releases every several days. I appreciate your patience and apologize for the delay and associated GPU issues.

As of writing, it's the afternoon in Asia and early morning US. All markets are continuing to sink, following the drop on Thursday and Friday.  The Nikkei is down 12% on the day and the Kospi (Korea) is down almost 9% and circuit breakers kicked in to halt trading. Stocks are sinking to around January levels. Money is moving to Bonds and Gold. Certain currencies are rallying - like the Japanese Yen - which worsens their situation and puts them in a sticky situation recovery-wise.

- [Jigsaw daytradr “Refresh Rate” – Faster than the human eye?](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/jigsaw-daytradr-refresh-rate-faster-than-the-human-eye/): In this article, we'll discuss the way Jigsaw daytradr gets information in front of your eyeballs as quickly as possible whilst avoiding performance issues when the market "speeds up". The speeding up of a market is most obvious when news hits but there are other shorter-term increases in pace when (for example) stops get hit. Both have to be considered when developing a trading platform.

This release is mandatory for Rithmic users following a new restriction on the Rithmic side of 2000 calls to their "GetAccount" method. daytradr calls this method to check to see if new accounts have been added to the current user id logged in. Should this limit of 2000 calls be hit (possible in older versions), then the Rithmic user could be disabled.

- [Choosing The Right Market For YOU To Trade](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/choosing-the-right-market-for-you-to-trade/): Many traders gravitate towards the S&P500 Futures as their go-to-market, as it's the single most "advertised" market in the futures arena. It effectively acts as the 'default' market to trade. It might, however, not be the best-fit market for you personally. We are all different, and we all have different interest/boredom thresholds, which will impact the type of markets we can work with initially. I say initially because over time the type of markets you can read will expand with your experience. You may end up watching a range of markets, each with very different volatility profiles, looking out for momentum moves in each one, even though momentum expresses itself differently in each. Initially, most will be working with 1 market - and that should be based on the best-fit for the trader in question.
- [Jigsaw’s Independence Day Sale](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/independence-day-2023/): To celebrate Independence Day, we have decided to run a quick sale.

- [Overtrading? Taking ‘a breather’ between trades](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/overtrading/): One of the most common issues that traders face at some point in their careers is going completely off-plan and putting in a succession of off-plan trades, with disastrous results to their account - be it SIM, a trader tryout account, or a live account. It's classic overtrading and is something you can overcome.

- [Jigsaw Trading Review – Alternate Dimensions of Trade Info](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/alternate-dimensions-of-trade-info/):  
Indicators, can they really help with your trading? Or are they just a nuisance, one more thing for you to look at and probably making you always second guess your initial reading, ending up losing a good trading opportunity? Or maybe not all indicators are equal. 
- [Feature in Focus – Reading Market Intent with Auction Vista](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/feature-in-focus-reading-market-intent-with-auction-vista/):  
Many traders believe they can fully assess price movement by looking only at a basic bar chart. To some extent, this is true, I’m certain that the majority of you are able to see consolidation areas, where prices are being traded inside a range, where sometimes prices test the range high to the tick, and other times prices may go above by a couple of ticks, or prices may not even touch the high at all, reversing back down, targeting the range low.  
- [Feature in Focus – Profit Seeker](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/feature-in-focus-profit-seeker/):  
- [Feature in Focus – Footprint Charts](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/footprint-charts/): Have you ever looked at a Footprint Chart and wondered what all those numbers mean and how to take advantage of them?

Santa knows what’s on your wishlist, so this holiday season he’s bringing back Earn2Trade’s best deal! 
- [Feature in Focus – Real Time News and Economic Releases Widgets](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/feature-in-focus-widgets/): Have you ever placed an order seconds before an economic release that you knew nothing about? Your order is executed, and the market jumps literally 10 ticks against your entry price, and you get completely lost without knowing what happened and many times, without really knowing what to do. Should I wait a couple more seconds, or just close the position and try to understand what happened?
- [Black Friday at Earn2Trade](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/black-friday-at-earn2trade/): We've been working with Earn2Trade for a few years and they certainly excel in trader support and education, with rules very much in line with what you'd find at a "Regular" Bricks and mortar prop firm.
- [Best Trader Funding Firms – Our Top 3 – With Discount Coupons](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/trader-funding-firms-discount-coupons/): The online Trader Funding Industry was undoubtedly pioneered by Topstep.

- [Exchange Code Changes at Interactive Brokers](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/exchange-code-changes-at-interactive-brokers/): This weekend, Interactive Brokers made some changes to their exchange codes. This caused many symbols to not be recognized through daytradr.
- [Jigsaw’s Early Black Friday Sale – 100 coupons – Best Prices Ever](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/black-friday-2022/): Welcome to Jigsaw's Early Black Friday sale with record-low prices on the institutional packages and great discounts all over.

- [Jigsaw Trading Review – V4.0.1.0 Beta – Taming The Volatility Tiger](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/jigsaw-trading-review-v4-0-beta-taming-the-volatility-tiger/): We are happy to announce the release of Jigsaw daytradr V4.0.1.0  Beta. The release includes some very exciting new features, which we'll detail here. Note, we have attached "Beta" to this because of the number of new charting features. The other new features should be considered non-Beta. Note that we do beta releases to get more exposure to new features to iron out remaining bugs. If that's not for you, then please stick with version 3.2.2.0 until this one is out of beta.  
- [Learn To Daytrade For Less With Our New Institutional Pricing](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/institutional-package-reduction-in-price-and-increased-availability/): We are happy to announce that we are making the Institutional package more affordable starting today. As you may know, this package includes THE best price ladder education available anywhere, from our partner - London Proprietary Trading Firm "Axia Futures".

- [Introducing Jigsaw Hub](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/introducing-jigsaw-hub/): Dear friend,
We're excited to tell you about some changes we've recently made to improve the way you interact with your Jigsaw assets and resources.
- [Jigsaw Trading Group Therapy – Redefining Group Therapy – Oct 12th 12pm EST](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/jigsaw-trading-group-therapy-redefining-group-therapy-oct-12th-12pm-est/): It's Jigsaw group therapy time again. As we've mentioned before, over time, there has become less of a need for Jigsaw group therapy. OR to put it another way, we don't want to have a meeting every month telling you about something "essential" you must have in your trading. 
- [Market Mechanics – Understanding How Prices Move in The Markets](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/market-mechanics-understanding-liquidity-and-price-behavior/): “Why does price move?” is an interesting question that traders spend very little time contemplating.  Traders tend to accept that price moves around in a semi-orderly fashion without worrying about the mechanics behind a price move. Why does the price of any market move at all? Why doesn’t it stay in one place? Why doesn’t it jump around at random? Why doesn’t the emini S&P500 (ES) trade at 2100.25 one minute, 999.75 the next, then 10,000.00 the next? It's all about market mechanics.
- [The Path to Becoming a Professional Trader by Chris Gray](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/chris-path-to-professional-0/): Today we are happy to be posting the recording from yesterday's event with Chris Gray. It was refreshing to hear about the "intangibles" a trader faces in his journey, such as how to validate a trading concept, how he levels himself out before trading, and a host of other things most traders don't consider, yet as important as any setup. 
- [How to Daytrade, How NOT to Daytrade…](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/how-to-daytrade-how-not-to-daytrade/): I consistently get 5-10 emails per week from people saying 'I am lost in my trading, can you help?'. Mostly these are from prospective customers but about 30% are from existing customers. The mistakes they are making, and the comments I get are so similar, that I thought I'd try to write a blog post to cover most of the issues. In Summary, these are: 
- [Innovative Jigsaw User – Constant Trade – Video Library](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/jigsaw-user-constant-trade-video-library/): In our last major survey, 23% of Jigsaw users were trading full-time. Many of these now have their own YouTube channels as they pay it forwards to other users on the same journey they tool themselves. 
Some of these are 'power users' of Jigsaw and put together amazing videos on how to get the most from the tools. One great example is Constant Trade and his videos "Full Tutorial Jigsaw daytradr" and "Every Tip You Need on Charts With Jigsaw".
That's saved us a job!
Just kidding - but we all have different perspectives, I've been around software for a while and it's never failed to amaze me when I've walked into an office/factory and saw them using tools our teams had developed in ways we hadn't envisaged. It's always good NOT to put too many limitations on code to allow for this "unexpected usage" and that's what we see with Constant Trade. He's an innovative user. 
These videos are excellent, so, we thought we'd share his tutorials with you.
Constant Trade started using a DOM in a trading room in Paris back in 2019, but the platform used at the time did not meet his requirements. While reworking his sessions using market replay, he discovered Jigsaw, and it has been his trading platform ever since.
And by the way, don't forget to visit Jigsaw Trading's YouTube channel, and look out for changes there as we add more playlists and more videos. They might not all be as good as Constant Trade's videos though!
And to Constant Trade - a big thank you for putting this out there. 
- [“Trading Season” – What to look out for in the coming months](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/trading-season-what-to-look-out-for-in-the-coming-months/): Now we are past Labour Day, we normally give to the week after the holidays and consider that a  "full house of Global traders". In other words, people are back from holiday and volume usually increases.
- [Jigsaw’s Labor Day Sale! Up to $350 off! 100 coupons only.](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/labor-day-sale/): It seems like every year, we get a new request for a sale we didn't run before. This time we are getting requests for a "labor day sale".   
To be fair though - this one makes more sense - after all, "Trading Season" starts the week after the Labor Day holiday. Which is when trading starts to ramp up after the holidays in The Hamptons. So while the private jets are being parked, maybe it's time to strengthen your defense and offense with the Jigsaw tools and education.
So there's no better time to ramp up your trading toolkit to make the most of the oncoming volatility.
- [Coffee With Chris: His Path to Becoming a Pro Trader 21st  Sept, Noon.](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/chris-path-to-professional/): We are happy to announce that on the 21st of September at noon EST, we'll be hosting Christopher Gray, who will be taking us through his path to becoming a professional trader.

- [Learn to Trade Futures in 5 Simple Steps](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/learn-to-trade-futures-in-5-simple-steps/): In this article, we are talking to the new futures traders or those that are now banging their heads against a wall trying to figure out how to trade futures or any other financial market.  
- [Trade Exit Automation Pt 2 – Einstein Edition. Advanced Features.](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/trade-exit-automation-pt-2-advanced-features/):   In this video, we continue to discuss the benefits of Automated Trade Exit Management Strategies. We show more complex strategies, such as having multiple targets and stops as well as using a mixed mode of automated and manual management for those active traders needing more refined control in managing their positions. We take a look at volume stop strategies and how to add more legs as we keep adding to our position (scale in). All these different exit strategies have one goal, to help you better manage your position.
- [Understanding the Flat & Cancel Processes](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/flatandcancel/): With markets experiencing extremely high volatility, we feel it necessary to explain the process of Flattening a position or Cancelling all Orders. Or both!
- [Can’t capture profits fast enough? Automate Your Exits.](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/automated-trade-exit-strategies-cant-capture-profits-fast-enough-get-automated-on-the-way-out/):  
This week the Feature in Focus is the Automated Trade Exit Management Strategies. Having automatic, defined exit prices on the DOM when trading fast markets, can help better manage our position, not only on the target side but also on the stop side. How many times, have we had a profit on our hands and markets reversed so fast that we had to exit at the market, at the worst possible price? In this video, we will show how to set up a simple stop loss strategy and a more complex strategy with trailing stops and multiple legs, and also show a small feature that some might not know when moving orders manually.
 
 
- [Better Trading Decisions With The Unique Circles in Auction Vista](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/better-trading-decisions-with-the-unique-circles-in-auction-vista/):  
If you ask traders what the most important information is when making a trading decision, most will say “price”. Some will say “volume” and the more enlightened may say “Value” which is really a combination of price and volume. 
- [The Training Dilemma – What to Really Look for in Trading Education](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/the-training-dilemma-what-to-really-look-for-in-trading-education/): Learning to trade can be an expensive and frustrating endeavor. Many retail traders end up buying (and discarding) numerous training courses in the process of learning how to trade. In this article, we’ll take a look at developing a more holistic view of the market. To develop your own training curriculum, as opposed to taking a series of disjointed ‘magic bullet’ courses that have you starting at ground zero each time.
- [My $6,000 mistake – avoiding the 6 most costly errors with trade rooms](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/my-6000-mistake-avoiding-the-6-most-costly-errors-with-trade-rooms/): Trade rooms, where subscribers pay to watch somebody trade live online, seem like the perfect education tool. I speak to a lot of traders looking for mentors who say, “if only I could watch somebody trade, THEN I’d get it”. You aren’t alone, in fact, this way of thinking cost me $6,000. More on that later.
- [Random Entry Trading](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/random-entry-trading/): There is a famous trading book that ‘proves’ you can enter the market with a random entry and still make money. Or did it prove that? There are some important lessons to be learnt when we take a deeper look.
- [Master Trade Management using Order Flow](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/master-trade-management-using-order-flow/): Trade Management is very much an overlooked aspect in the art of trading. Many retail traders are so focused on getting the trade entry right that they pay little attention to making sure they get the most from the trade or do their most to avoid losses in a losing trade. On the other hand, many professional traders will tell you that closing losing trades is one of the most important elements of their strategy. With the right trade management techniques, traders can expect tangible benefits in their trading within weeks.  
- [Anatomy of a Reversal](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/elements-of-a-reversal/): A huge proportion of traders are focused on trading reversals. Usually, there is some method of setting levels at which a reversal may occur; Support & Resistance, value areas, volume profile, pivot points, Fibonacci are all commonly used methods of setting locations where a reversal may occur. There is nothing inherently wrong with trading reversals, but it is worth considering WHY traders are attracted to reversal trading and what the downsides may be. 
- [Trading Therapy Group recording – The Man With 3 Brains](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/therapy-group-recording-the-man-with-3-brains/):  
On May 11th, we had a great therapy group session where we looked at examples of personality extremes, such as ADHD and Dyslexia, and how people suffering from these disorders, despite being considered by most as troubled, because of the way their brain is wired, it might bring benefits elsewhere that they don't know about.
It's not all about mental wiring, it's also about figuring out who you are, what your skills are, and how to adapt them to trading, understanding your own strengths and weaknesses.
 
- [Feature in Focus: Momentum Tails – Less Effort and Better Trading Decisions](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/feature-in-focus-improve-your-order-flow-reading-with-momentum-tails-part-2/):  
In this second video, we continue to look at the momentum tails and how they can help us make better trading decisions or rather, how it takes less focus to make decisions you are making anyway. We take a look at using the tails in correlated markets and we also discuss the power of one of the simplest tools - the center line. It's all about having the brain do less processing. We look at the differences between thinner and thicker markets, and how volume or the lack of, can affect momentum, which can also be affected during news or economic data release.
- [Day Trading Support/Resistance Levels](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/day-trading-support-resistance-levels-on-the-e-mini-sp500-futures/): The most commonly played areas to trade-off also tend to be those that are the most visually appealing. It should therefore come as no great surprise that the most visually appealing “Support and Resistance” are the ones that are most discussed on trading forums. These are the areas with the highest participation of inexperienced traders.
- [The Man With 3 Brains. Matching Your Mind With Your Market](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/the-man-with-3-brains-matching-you-with-your-market/):  
On May 11th at 12 pm EST, we'll be holding our next (and overdue) Group Therapy session titled "The Man With 3 Brains. Matching You With Your Market". As usual, this is a more interactive session with plenty of back and forth.
- [Jigsaw’s Inflation Busting Sale! Up to $350 off!](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/inflation-busting-sale/): Like a lot of you - I am currently enjoying a flood of self-pitying emails from companies, telling me how hard their life is right now because of inflation. We've all had them - "Inflation is hitting us hard, so we have no choice but to hit you hard". 
Because what company could possibly take a little hit on profits when everyone is suffering?
Well - this one. Inflation is hitting us too. But to us - it's like some random guy punching you in the face because some other random guy punched him in the face. What do they call it? "Pay it forward"? Or did that go out of fashion? Anyway - welcome to Jigsaw's "anti-inflation sale".
- [Strength in Numbers](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/strength-in-numbers/): The ability to gauge the genuine strength of a move in a market has a number of implications. We can assess the strength of a move in one direction against the strength of the last move to decide if a market is reversing or just pulling back. We can also look at a move in more absolute terms. Armed with swing chart and cumulative delta indicators, and also with knowledge of how that specific market generally operates, we can assess if what appears to be a good move in price action terms really has a chance of being sustained. 
- [Trading advice – A traders’ dilemma – true story](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/trading-advice-a-traders-dilemma-true-story/): I often have traders call me to discuss their trading issues. Today I heard from a trader whose problem was a common one. It just wasn’t the problem he thought he had. For the purposes of this story, let’s call him Vitaly – because that’s his real name.
- [Trading Clichés – Fact or Fantasy?](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/trading-cliches-fact-or-fantasy/): One of the joys of learning to trade is wading through so many diverse opinions about the markets, how they work and how you can trade them. In this article, we’ll look at 5 common trading clichés and try to figure out which are facts and which are fantasy.
- [daytradr 3.2.2.0, Jigsaw 2022 Product & Group Therapy Plans](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/daytradr-3-2-2-0-jigsaw-2022-product-group-therapy-plans/): Today I am writing to you from a little detox resort in Samui where fat people go to be reborn into skinnies again. Like many, I experienced a little 'depression' of sorts during covid and ate the entire contents of the refrigerator every day.  I gained 23 kg and the wife said that this was "a bit too much Pete", so she sent me here where I am on day 31 of a 37-day juice fast and about 13 kg lighter.
Much of the weight seems to have been lost from between my ears - and so I have not been replying to emails much or booking meetings. Normal service will resume after 11th April. 
Till then - you haven't been forgotten if you think you have!
Today, we are releasing daytradr 3.2.20. It's a maintenance patch and the list of issues resolved are below. This is a mandatory release as we've changed the way we distribute the charting licenses (the ones we pay for, not the ones you pay for). You won't notice a difference, but charts will stop working on older versions on April 1st. 
We've been quiet in the past 12 months as we've been ramping up our development capabilities considerably. That included a brand-new development office. We still have staff in Thailand, India, Spain, Portugal, and Brazil, so not all developers are in the new office - but we needed a core group of smart people in one place and all new developers we hire will be there too
- [Time Travel Day Trading – Shortening your trading horizon](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/time-travel-day-trading-shortening-your-trading-horizon/): Few traders consider the impact of trading horizon on the amount of elapsed time it’ll take them to get to profit. 
- [Volatility and Its Role In Your Downfall](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/volatility-and-its-role-in-your-downfall/): Volatility can make or break you as a trader.  For many traders, it is causing unnecessarily high rates of losing trades. To understand the role of volatility, we’ll take a look at a couple of trading myths that make a lot of sense when you first hear them. As they are myths, they obviously don’t work in practice. Understanding why these 2 myths don’t work in practice, gives us some insights into a key factor of trading success. In fact, taking into account this one factor could absolutely make the difference between your success and failure as a trader.  
- [Trading on the Side of Strength](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/trading-on-the-side-of-strength/): It’s natural to approach the markets with a “them vs. me” mentality; to see the market as one thing and yourself as another.  The reality is that a “me vs. me” scenario is closer to the truth; The markets are better viewed as a collection of people just like yourself all trying to squeeze money out of the markets. 
- [Trade Journaling: When Will You Need It?](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/trade-journaling-when-will-you-need-it/): If there's one thing that almost all traders fail to take care of in their journey it's...
- [Feature in Focus: Improve your order flow reading with Momentum Tails](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/how-to-improve-your-order-flow-reading-skills-using-a-depth-of-markets/): In this video we take a look at momentum tails. For many, this tool is the "trainer wheels" for reading momentum, they use it at first and let go of it later. Others like to just keep it on as it is a neat tool and means that reading momentum takes a lot less energy. We'll explain the feature in terms of how to use it in trading and how to set it up. It's the first of our "Feature in Focus Videos, where we look at lesser known features in the product and how to use them". Partly this is because it might not be obvious and partly because the manual doesn't go into depth on the "why" of the feature.
- [Front Running or Fading Absorption ? Dom Trading Setup That Works](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/which-dom-trading-setups-actually-work-1/): A long time ago (OK, 2010), the DOM and Order Flow were barely discussed in trading. Most platforms had a DOM, but they were featureless skeletal creatures with very little meat on them. Educators like John Grady at NO BS were amongst a handful of players that took a lead in teaching people the DOM, and we played our own part starting 2012 bringing in features that made reading the DOM more accessible to those of us with Goldfish-like memories.
- [Surviving Day Trading In These Wild Markets](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/surviving-day-trading-these-wild-markets/): We are living in interesting times and the market has responded to the current war in Ukraine with a huge dose of volatility. In this article, we'll look at how you can adjust to this. 
- [It’s time to talk about the ES/S&P500 Futures and Sucking](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/the-sp500-sucks/): This has been a recurring question of late. Newer traders asking "Is the ES always like this?" and it's time to discuss openly. 
The S&P500 Futures suck right now.
There - I said it.
People are struggling - especially newer traders. Those that didn't experience a 'normal' S&P500 Futures yet!
- [How to Become a Full-Time Day Trader](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/how-to-become-a-full-time-day-trader/): This topic always reminds me of a trip I took to a prop firm in London. It was my first time meeting their CEO - we had a quick chat then off for lunch. As we got to the lift there was a shout of “hold the lift” and two young traders walked in. One of them said “Are you Peter Davies?” and my answer (obviously) was “Why?”. It turns out that the two traders had gotten their start in Order Flow trading from the lessons at Jigsaw and they ended up trading similar techniques for the firm. This isn’t the norm but just one of many ways people end up becoming a full time day trader.
- [What Is Ladder Trading and Is It A Useful Trading Strategy?](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/what-is-ladder-trading-and-is-it-a-useful-trading-strategy/): In this article, we’ll discuss the rationale behind using the Price Ladder in trading. We’ll look at what it is, typical misconceptions and why it might be useful in your arsenal of weapons against the market.
- [Big End of Year Discounts! 100 Coupons Ends 3rd Jan.](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/big-end-of-year-discounts-100-coupons-ends-3rd-jan/): It's the end of the year and just like Black Friday, the bargain hunters are out in force again. This time looking for a January sale. So here we go - these are our best deals ever and we have no plans for another major sale till next Thanksgiving - and even then - we'll try our best to avoid it!
- [Our New Year Gift – The All New Order Flow Foundation Course](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/ny-gift-all-new-order-flow-foundation-course/): Our New Year Gift to Jigsaw customers is now ready to be opened. It's something we've had in the making since the start of 2021. A completely new, vastly improved "Order Flow Foundation Course".  It's available to all existing Jigsaw daytradr users Free Of Charge.
It's also going to be made available to all new Jigsaw daytradr customers!
Jigsaw is often referred to as the "Gold Standard" in Order Flow Education. Specifically - our "ground up" "Order Flow Foundation" course, launched back in 2014. It takes you from zero knowledge to fully understanding the "what's" and "why's" of Order Flow, without resorting to a lot of confusing terminology.
That's why if you go onto online trading forums and Facebook trading groups asking "what's the best way to learn order flow?" - you'll be pointed in our direction.  
Not only that -  a number of prop firms use it (with our blessing) to initiate their interns in Order Flow concepts when they first join. One trader told us "I went on a professional course run by B******* that my firm paid $14k for, and it didn't cover the topic with this depth and clarity".
- [daytradr 3.2.0.2 & 2022 Plans](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/2022-plans/): We are happy to announce the release of Jigaw daytradr 3.2.0.2. 
- [Futures Trading Strategies Professional Day Traders Use.](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/best-futures-trading-strategies/): This article will go over the main strategies day traders use that I’ve been exposed to. Each strategy or style has pros and cons. What I’ll leave out are strategies you couldn’t do from home. For example, I know of one firm that ran an open outcry FX desk for USD/THB – and FX market-making firm that on a busy day could push through a billion dollars – but, unless you know of a dozen banks to have on the line all day – I’d say that’s not something you can do from home. Here are a few futures trading strategies that day traders use!
- [Taming The Risk (& Reward) Tiger – Recording.](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/taming-risk-tiger/): In this session, we looked at 3 scenarios traders commonly face where the outcome is usually the worst possible one. This is sort of understandable when the risk or reward component of a scenario is cold-hard-cash. But even when the reward is a self-set non-monetary target, we see the same behaviours as with cash targets. We brought along John Hoagland from Topstep for his interesting perspectives on this - he's a 30-year market veteran prop/floor trader who coaches Topstep traders. And managed to squeeze Topstep for a free Trading combine for new customers (or coaching session for existing Topstep customers) - which you can apply for here.
- [Trading Group Therapy, Yellow Belt Session](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/yellow-belt-recording/): We had another great session with Sune on Dec 1st. In this session, we had a look at where he was now, for a trading plan, and then figure out how to move forward. The key here was not getting Sune to start again but to do a couple of things...
- [Building Trading Muscles You Didn’t Know You Needed Yet! (Thu 12pm)](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/building-trading-muscles/): Introducing or increasing risk to your trading usually has a number of unforeseen effects that appear to come out of the blue. Many traders think this is unique to them but the reality is - it's almost all traders. It's just that most find out about the issues and their impact when it hits their live account.
Trading on SIM has zero risk - so for most -  their entry and exit strategies improve but their trading skillset remains undeveloped. They go live and these underdeveloped trading muscles become their weakness.
This Thursday, at 12 pm central, Trading veteran John Hoagland will be joining us in an open discussion where we'll be discussing these issues in detail. Click here to register.
We'll take the 3 most damaging symptoms one by one and we'll give our perspectives and invite you to give yours. We'll then look at ways to help ensure you encounter these issues in a safe, controlled environment.
- [Trading Group Therapy, White Belt Session](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/white-belt-recording/): We had a great session last week with Sune - who is new to Order Flow and comes to us as more of an "open book" than many of the people we talk to in Group Therapy.  For those earlier in the journey - this should be a useful series for you. Hat's off to Sune too for doing this! 
- [Don’t Miss Out! Jigsaw Black Friday Sale.](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/dont-miss-out-jigsaw-black-friday-2021/): Bigger Discounts. More Products.
Just like a new trader changing from a 50 to a 49 moving average to get an edge over the competition. Everyone and their dog is doing Black Friday sales 2 weeks before Black Friday. So this is our 49 MA. The difference is, you'll be getting the edge over other traders with these deals.
- [Trading Group Therapy, White Belt – Fingers Saved! 18th Nov, 12:30pm EST.](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/trading-group-therapy-fingers-saved/): This Thursday (18th November, 2021), we are holding an impromptu Group Therapy.  For a change, the topics will be somewhat of a mystery - well, they will to me. And if that's all you need to sign up so you can listen to my accent - click here. 
- [Jigsaw Advisory Panel/Inner Circle – Kick Off](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/inner-circle/): With the launch of the latest version of daytradr with Discord Integration - we are ready to kick-off activities for the Jigsaw Advisory Panel. From this point on, we'll refer to is as he "Inner Circle" - because it's a much cooler name.
- [Jigsaw Trading Affiliate Program](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/jigsaw-trading-affiliate-program/): We recently hired a new Marketing Manager (Jay) and as part of his review of our processes, he took a look at the Affiliate program and the "refer-a-friend" scheme. Both programs help you earn a commission by referring people to Jigsaw. He found that both were in need of an update, so here's the changes for both existing referrers and those looking to jump on board and start getting paid by Jigsaw.
- [Jigsaw daytradr 3.2.0.0](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/jigsaw-daytradr-3-2-0-0/): We are happy to announce the release of Jigsaw daytradr 3.2.0.0 - with Discord Integration.
- [Jigsaw Discord Community](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/discord/): An overhaul to the way we bring Jigsaw users together is long overdue and with the release of daytradr 3.2.0.0, we now have our own Discord Server.
- [Can you really improve your trading by doing less?](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/keep-your-trading-simple/): Yesterday, we spent an hour in a group therapy session with Marcos, a trader that recently overcame one of the most common problems in trading - sticking to the plan. In his case, the plan was 50 pages long when we met and is just 2 pages now. Something that enabled consistency. That consistency landed him 2 funded accounts at an online prop firm. 
This is an interview-style group therapy, where we look a the changes made in his trading, to get back on track.
- [Jigsaw Support Changes](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/jigsaw-support-changes/): I'd like to let you all know about changes we are making to the Jigsaw Product Support Processes. Partly this is to keep you in the loop on the things we are doing right now but also we'll be referring to this post in support cases because one of the things we are doing might seem a little aggressive if left without explanation.
- [Group Therapy – Marcos – Sticking To The Plan. How He Cracked It – 2nd Sept, 4:30PM EST](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/group-therapy-marcos-sticking-to-the-plan/): In our next group therapy session, we'll hear from Marcos - an aspiring trader just like you.

- [Market Making Manual – Update](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/market-making-manual-update/): A quick update on Gary Norden’s Market Maker Manual and related live webinar sessions.We have had numerous inquiries about the availability of the manual for new customers. Gary has decided to stop selling the Market Maker Manual and it is no longer available through Jigsaw Trading’s website.  This development has raised an issue for existing users of the material and continuing access to the manual. The manual remains accessible for existing users through the normal access portal on Jigsaws members only site. Gary has requested Jigsaw remove the manual from the members pages on January 14th, 2022.Regarding the live webinar sessions.  Gary has informed us he won’t be returning to do any Q&A sessions.
- [Trading Group Therapy – The 11 Year Glitch](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/trading-group-therapy-the-11-year-glitch/): Imagine selling your business to trade and sitting there 11 years later, still not profitable. There are a few questions that come to mind when you hear this. Some assumptions you might make too. I had a lot of assumptions and even some possible conclusions before going into this discussion with CB (alias name to keep his identity anonymous)
- [SIM Trading or Bleeding Money? Experience Capped Risk](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/sim-trading-or-bleeding-money-experience-capped-risk/): I'd like to go over what I consider a big value to traders in services like Topstep Trader that isn't discussed much but for many, is a way to get out of the destructive SIM reset cycle without losing your savings.  
- [Join The “Jigsaw Advisory Panel” – Shaping Jigsaw Together](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/jigsaw-advisory-panel/): As Jigsaw continues to grow, we feel it's time to get more engaged with the user base as we roll out new products and want to validate "off the wall ideas". In our view - the best way to get the product roadmap right and shape the future - is to blend our plans with the feedback and requests of a working group that is both friendly and outside of our own control. 
- [Trading Group Therapy – Chuck Berry – Thu, 12PM EST](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/trading-group-therapy-chuck-berry-wed-12pm-est/): It's time for us to move into the next phase of group therapy - where we will look at specific trader's issues. If you remember, earlier this year we said that we don't want to be a part of the narrative that "trading is an endless quest for knowledge" or "I just need that one last thing".  Teaching more and more is unhelpful if you already have enough and the answer is to get good at that. After, all - it was REFUSING to sell more education to this guy  that was his turning point. 
- [The Trading Education Paradox](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/the-trading-education-paradox/): If there's one topic that’s guaranteed to cause a heated debate in the trading world, it’s Trading Education. Usually, the discussion revolves not so much about which education products are best but about the motivations of the seller. The most common arguments together, create a paradox, which indicates anyone who teaches can't trade. 
In this article, we'll look at the arguments and offer a flip side to them. Not a counter-argument specifically but a look at how this works in other industries. 
As we sell trading education, we are not going to talk about ourselves in this article or it'll just be seen as a sales pitch.
- [Trend vs Chop](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/trend-chop-daytrading/): We've had a slight change of heart about the Group Therapy recording for Part 2 of the "Keeping It Simple" special. We have decided to make it public. Admittedly, this is partly because Camtasia kept crashing my PC as I tried to edit the video that I'd recorded in 4k mode. 
- [Webinar: Using Market Shape To Find Bigger Trades. Register To Win $1,500 Cash.](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/using-market-shape-to-find-bigger-trades-15th-jul-10am-est-up-to-1500/): We are excited to announce we've been invited to present at July's Wealth365 Summit. This time, we'll be discussing the use of "Market Shape" to identify day trades that have above average potential. For those who register, you will get the chance to win up to $1,500 in cash. The event runs from 12th to 17th July and our spot will be on Thursday, July 15th at 10 a.m. ET. Click here to register. As usual - emails will not be shared with any 3rd party. W365 will get your email and there is an opt out that will be honored.  What is "Market Shape"?  In a recent group therapy session, I mentioned a number of techniques I wasn't on-board with and someone in the audience said "But your partner Axia Futures uses that". Well - how embarassing! On the one hand, I wasn't a believer but on the other hand, I know Axia well enough to pique my interest. And I went to see if they'd explain.  Over a number of (heated) Sunday morning sessions, Alex (the CEO of Axia) and I discussed this. The biggest proponents of "Market Shape" are some of the biggest traders at Axia. I was intrigued. Still, until I had a solid "why", I wasn't convinced. To prevent Alex and I killing each other on the phone, Richard stepped in and the penny finally dropped, when he gave me a different angle that made all what Alex said make sense..
- [Well – that escalated quickly!](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/well-that-escalated-quickly/): It seems we've generated some disappointment with some of our valued customers due to the event at LKS yesterday. The gist is they feel that LKS are not an honest operator and that we are a dying company that is in a last ditch attempt to make some cash before we disappear completely. Some are calling for a boycott and say they will destroy us. You know - typical Friday.
- [daytradr 3.1.1.4 – Out Today](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/release3114/): Today we are releasing version 3.1.1.4 of daytradr, the manual for charting is now complete.

- [Wanted – Jigsaw Marketing Lead/Community Manager](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/hiring-marketing-lead/): Jigsaw is hiring again. This time. it's to help us with marketing and customer outreach. The ideal target will be English speaking and in Asia or Europe. Europe would be most convenient from a time zone perspective. We are looking for someone that has done a similar role, so this is not for someone that "wants to give it a try", it's for someone that brings skills we don't currently have. 
- [Retail vs Pro Day Trading 1 – Tunnel Vision](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/retail-vs-pro-day-trading-tunnel-vision/): In this series, we'll take a look at the differences between retail and professional trading. In each post, we'll focus on one aspect where we see a major difference between the two groups. In this first one, we'll look at the scope of decisions made to enter trades.
- [daytradr 3.1.1.3, Last Weekend for $1000 Cash Prize](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/1000-dollar-last-chance/): Today we are releasing version 3.1.1.3 of daytradr, we've gotten to the end of the issue list (from our perspective). We are of course ready for any more issues but we think we reached stability at this point. A big thanks to all who helped testing. And a bit of extra thanks to Christian V. for his efforts.
- [NEW Eurex Micros. Win $1000 Cash Survey Prize. daytradr 3.1.1.1](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/charting-beta-ending-0/): If you are just here for the $1000 - go to the end. 
For the rest....
Yesterday, Eurex launched 2 new Micro Contracts - presumably this means a "micro war" between the exchanges. This would be great for newer traders looking to cut their teeth on live accounts. 
We are also releasing daytradr 3.1.1.1 - which is needed to support these contracts and fixes the NT8/MT5 issues with the last version as well as a couple of minor issues. We are also still running the survey with a $1000 prize for the winner we'll draw out of a (virtual) hat at the end of the month. More at the end.
- [Trading Support at Jigsaw](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/trading-support-at-jigsaw/): At Jigsaw, we are somewhat unusual in that we don't just offer support for our tools - but we are here to help with trading issues too. We don't charge for this and so far, the volume has been very manageable and we've got as much from doing it as the people asking the questions.
- [News: Happiness is a Decision](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/news-investing-happiness-is-a-decision/): CEO Peter Davies was recently quoted in an article on investing, order flow trading, and the volatility of the stock market and economy in general.
- [daytradr Charting Beta Ending. $1000 Survey Prize](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/charting-beta-ending/): We are happy to announce what we hope is the final or penultimate beta release for charting. Since the last release, we have focused on fixing reported beta issues and releasing interim versions to those that have specific issues. We also re-factored a number of areas of code - both our own and 3rd party code, to maximize performance. 
- [News: Investing During The Pandemic](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/news-investing-during-the-pandemic/): CEO Peter Davies was recently quoted in an article on investing during the pandemic; what should I do with my money considering all of the volatility and uncertainty today.

- [Beat the Price Increase – Save $678. Inertia Wins, So 2 More Days](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/beat-the-increase-0/): I recently sent out a blog post about the upcoming price increase of the Axia Price Ladder Course at Jigsaw. The increase was to be in place on 5th March but I got sidetracked with some other issues and I didn't make the increase. So I just told Axia about it and asked them - you want me to do it or can I give people 2 more days?  And Alex at Axia is such a gent, he ok'd it.  So you benefit from my inertia. 
The price of the Axia Price Ladder course has been static for years. Axia are frequently adding content (and value) to the course, usually without a price increase. In November, they added 6 carefully crafted drills that help you hone your tape reading skills. They plan to add more content later this year. They felt, that at some point the price needed to reflect all the extra value and so they put in place an increase that justified their continued additions.
Then forgot to tell me about it!
As mentioned, we 'missed' the recent price increase on the Axia Price Ladder course - one of the key components of our Institutional package. The price at Axia is now £1,200/US$1,678.
- [Keeping It Simple](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/trading-group-therapy-keeping-it-simple-recording/): It's quite easy to say "Just keep it simple" about any task but that means picking some things and discarding others - but which ones?

The price at Axia is now £1,200/US$1,678.

For some reason. there's two groups we attract in far greater number than any others. These are:
- [Short Sellers – Evil or Not?](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/short-selling-evil/): Like many, I've been watching the shenanigans over trading in the stocks of GameStop with interest. I'd meant to pen an article on short selling for a while - but what better time than now?
- [2020 Trading Group Therapy Plans](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/2020-trading-group-therapy-plans/): We are planning to do something different for our Group Therapy sessions in 2020. . One of the reasons for this is that there's only so much to be said about trading, we'll start to get repetitive if we go over the same topics again. The plan is to focus on customer issues rather than us choosing the topics
- [Success Factors & Side Gigs](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/group-thearpy-dec-20-0/): Here's the recording of Decembers group therapy session. In this event, we went over my own story and then took a look at how much was luck and how much was good judgement. This is done in order for us all to reflect on what random events caused us to get to this point in our trading and consider if some of our beliefs might be holding us back.

Before we proceed, it's important to point out that not all DOM's are equal. Some are too basic to be of any practical use and some freeze up when you need them most - when the markets get really busy.

- [Is Order Flow Trading Overrated?](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/is-order-flow-trading-overrated/): This question was posed to me yesterday by a customer. Rather than answer his question directly, I thought I'd put out a blog post.
- [Jigsaw daytradr – FootPrints, Cumulative Delta – Out Now!](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/footprint-release/): Jigsaw daytradr Charts Beta 7 is out now. Included in this are FootPrint Charts (chart), Cumulative Delta (Study) and FootPrint Stats (Study)
- [daytradr Charts Beta 7 – FootPrints](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/footprints/): We are happy to announce that FootPrint charts are now ready in Beta 7 of daytradr charting. We did plan a presentation on it today but we've spent the day ironing out the remaining issues. So the webinar will be on 29th at 12pm EST. It would be tomorrow but for the many of you that are friends with me on Facebook - you'll note that it is my daughters birthday. My wife pointed this out tonight and I mentioned the webinar I was going to do tomorrow. She didn't say a word, but the look she gave me told me that a change of date would be a wonderful idea.
- [Order Flow First Steps – Follow Up Session Recording](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/order-flow-follow-up/):  
 
This webinar was another interactive session. It was following up on the meeting we had on Monday which was basically telling people the first steps they should take with order flow, to get them ready for the FootPrint lessons this week. We did invite our whole list so it was well attended and we got a good range of questions.
- [Order Flow – First Steps](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/order-flow-first-steps/): We recently did a webinar at Wealth365, where we discussed FootPrint charts - the pro's and cons. For those that wanted to take that further, we started a 7-week course.
- [Pro Trader Gary Norden Interview – English/Portuguese subtitles](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/pro-trader-gary-norden-interview-english-portuguese-subtitles/): I have to give Kudos to Rafael at DayTrader Pro for this interview with Gary Norden - mostly because I've never seen anyone squeeze so much information from Gary in one session. Great topics covered and great counter-questions from Rafael on Gary's answers. It's in English with Portuguese subtitles.
- [Trading Group Therapy – Trading Backwards – 23 Oct 12pm EST](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/tradingbackwards/): Jigsaw Group Therapy Sessions have taken a backseat to the charting project over the past 6 months but it's time to get started again. Next session is 23rd October 12pm EST. Click here to register.
- [daytradr Charts – Approach & Philosophy](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/daytradr-charts-philosphy/): In this article, we'll take a look at how Jigsaw charting is put together and our philosophy when it comes to charting. Where we will go and where we won't. How we'll be different. What you can expect from us.
- [How Trading Targets Can Prevent You From Maximizing Your Profits (15th Oct)](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/trading-targets/): We are happy to have been invited once again to present at the next Wealth365 Summit. The summit will be held on 12th - 17th October. It's sponsored by some big names such as Forbes, tastytrade and Investors Business Daily and features 60 speakers. We'll be speaking at 10pm EST on the 15th October. To sign-up, click here.
- [daytradr Charts Beta 4 – CSI, Memory Improvements](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/daytradr-charts-beta-4/): All, it's time for another release of the charts. In this version we have CSI that we first introduced as an indicator for NinjaTrader 7 way back in 2015. This is being released as a chart type, not an indicator/study. It's just easier to use that way.
- [Jigsaw is Hiring!](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/hiring/): Hi All
Just a short note to let you know we are hiring for both developer roles and customer support roles. The Job Descriptions are below:
- [Trading Data Delays – What To Do?](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/trading-data-delays-what-to-do/): There's been lot's of reports of massive data lags this week and we thought we'd take some time to explain why this is and what to do when you see future lags. 
- [daytradr Charts Beta 3 – Volume Profiles, Info Windows, Zoom Improvements](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/daytradr-charts-beta-3/): Today, we are releasing daytradr charts Beta 2. If this is the first you heard about the beta - please read this post first. 
- [daytradr Charts Beta 2 – Market Profile, Rithmic Support](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/daytradr-charts-beta-2/): Today, we are releasing daytradr charts Beta 2. If this is the first you heard about the beta - please read this post first. 
In this beta, we are adding charts for Rithmic Feed as well as Market Profile Charts. 
- [daytradr Charts Beta 1](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/daytradr-charts-beta-1/): Today, we are releasing daytradr charts Beta 1. The purpose of a Beta trial is to have the software running on a wider range of machines, configurations and usage patterns than our QA can replicate. The aim is to find new issues. If this process didn't find issues, there would be no point in having a beta. So we actively encourage you to report anything you see that does not make sense to you.
- [Jigsaw Charts & NT8/MT5](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/jigsaw-charts-nt8-mt5/): We announced the charting beta last week and got lots of replies about our support for NinjaTrader 8 and MT5. Our initial thoughts on this were that when you bridge to another charting platform, you wouldn't need that bridge to pass data for our charting as you already have charts.  This brought up many questions and I'll try to answer them here:
- [Prize Winners Announced!](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/prize-winners-announced/): In the past month we had 2 opportunities for people in the Jigsaw Community to win some amazing prizes.
- [Jigsaw Charting Beta](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/jigsaw-charting-beta/): Next week, we plan to release the first beta of the Jigsaw Charting Module. It's built into the existing application and for existing users, there's no additional charge to use these charts. We are doing this as many of our users have a second charting application open alongside our tools and that incurs data fees.
- [Where are my Orders (PC or Exchange?)](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/where-are-my-orders-pc-or-exchange/): Two of the most common questions that come up with trading platform users are:
- [Independence Day Sale – Up to $100-$150 off everything! 50 coupons only!](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/independence-day-sale/): Lot's of people have emailed asking for an Independence Day discount. Many of them that aren't even from the US....  We have decided to give away some fantastic discounts to 50 lucky customers. Also - we have buy in from Gary & Axia, so for the first time we are giving discounts on 100% 3rd party products.
- [Icebergs, Stop Runs & Balance of Outright Traders](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/icebergs-stop-runs/): In this months group therapy, we took a look at icebergs, stop runs and the balance of outright traders. The latter being important as many traders presume that all of the activity we are looking at relates to traders with outright positions (e.g. buy low, sell higher).
With the advent of MBO, people are getting excited about using some of the new information in their trading. In this webinar, we took a few steps back and examined the underlying activity of Order Flow to ensure we put icebergs and stop run info in the right context.
- [Jigsaw Swing Charts Webinar with a $500 cash prize!](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/jigsaw-swing-charts-webinar-500-cash-prize/): We've always been a fan of Swing charts as they provide a unique insight into market activity. Interestingly, it's not because they show more information but because they filter out a lot of noise and focus on 2 main data points - where did the market react? and which side of the market was trading more aggressively? In turn, this helps you understand if the market is going to continue or if it's done in the old direction and a new trend is in place. It's great for bias, it's great for trading pullbacks. We'll show you how to use them and for the first time, we'll be showing the new Jigsaw Charts, which will be beta release in July.
- [Improved Support System at Jigsaw](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/improved-support-system-at-jigsaw/): This is a quick video to show you around the new support system at Jigsaw. We've implemented this new system so we can better support you and in many cases, get you an instant response from our growing knowledge base.
- [Dinosaurs & Market Bubbles for Day Traders](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/dinosaurs-market-bubbles-for-day-traders/): No doubt most of our readers will have heard of the "Hubble Space Telescope", it orbits the earth taking breathtaking pictures from space. Fewer people know about the sister project "Bubble Space Telescope", which was sent out to the edges of the Galaxy hoping to shed new light on how so many aggressive, strong and fearless dinosaur species went extinct at the same time, without warning and leaving little trace. Just days ago, Bubble came across a previously undiscovered blue and oxygen-rich planet. It's not been named but is known in scientific circles as "Dotcom2001", a place where seemingly indestructible beasts were roaming the planet just a few decades ago. Beasts such as "BuyTheDiplodocus", "Robinhood-osaurus", "NoStopLossoraptor", "BetterThanBuffet-e-titan" and the apex predator "DayTrade-o-Saurus-Rex"
- [Webinar – Situational Awareness – May 21st, 4:30pm EST](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/webinar-situational-awareness-may-21st-430pm-est/): Many traders start out looking for a technique that they can use in all markets on all timeframes. Often the technique will work for a while then stop working. It’ll work on one day but not another.
- [Jigsaw Support of New GAIN/OEC API](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/jigsaw-support-of-new-gain-oec-api/): GAIN Capital (aka OEC) have implemented a new API that will replace their existing API next month. We are supporting this in Jigsaw daytradr V 2.1.0.5 out today.
- [Discretionary Trading Rules](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/trading-group-therapy-discretionary-trading-0/): In this month's group therapy session, we discussed discretionary trading rules. The recording of the event is below:
- [Trading Group Therapy – Discretionary Trading Rules – 11th May, 12pm EST](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/trading-group-therapy-discretionary-trading/): In this month's group therapy session, we'll discuss discretionary trading rules. Most traders split trading into 2 categories - mechanical and discretionary. Mechanical trading is where most start out - looking for a 'hard set' of rules to follow, usually based on technical analysis with rules like "buy when indicator A crosses indicator B". Mechanical systems also have the allure that they can be automated and that this automation saves you from your own psychological flaws.The downside of mechanical trading as most traders find out - is that it doesn't actually work for the individual trader. There are too many external, unconsidered factors outside of their rules for it to work.Mechanical systems are often also called "Rules-based systems". So many end up thinking that that discretionary trading must be trading without rules, that it's just "trading instinctively", "shooting from the hip", "trading your gut feel". Many traders do attempt to do exactly that, with disastrous results.In this group session, we consider what rules-based discretionary trading should look like. Where you start out and where you should end up.- Pure instinctive trading, why it fails, where you will end up entering the market, why you will lose.-Understanding the benefits of discretionary trading & leveraging them.- Creating a safety net - protecting yourself from yourself.- What a discretionary rule should look like.- What your rules should cover. Factors to add to your trading & when to add them.- How to ensure your trading improves over time.The end game. What your trading should evolve into.The last point is intended to give you an idea of what discretionary trading looks like for an advanced trader, where you are headed and how different your trading will look as you progress.To register for the event (or the recording), click here
- [MBO – The new Holy Grail or A Gimmick for Retail Traders?](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/mbo-the-new-holy-grail-or-just-another-gimmick-for-retail-traders/): There's building chatter and excitement in the retail trading world about "MBO". or "Market By Order". In this article, we'll take a look at what MBO is and the potential ramifications for the retail trader. Note that a lot of the discussions I had with professionals about MBO were taking place after it was announced/before it was released. It all sounded very familiar...
- [Jigsaw daytradr 2.1.0.4](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/jigsaw-daytradr-2104/): Today we are releasing daytradr 2.1.0.4. This is a maintenance release of fixes.
- [Interactive Brokers Data for US Stocks](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/interactive-brokers-data-for-us-stocks/): Many customers have asked which market data subscriptions they need for trading US stocks. It's not 100% clear and the stock feeds are quite different from Futures. After all, Futures all trade on a single exchange and any individual stock trades on many of them. NASDAQ is not a single exchange but a collection of exchanges. NYSE is an exchange but their stocks also trade on NASDAQ.
- [Jigsaw Pricing Explained](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/jigsaw-pricing-explained/): In this article, we'll explain the Jigsaw Pricing Model - how it works & why we feel it presents exceptional value. As you read this, bear in mind that 23% of our users trade full time. It'll be clear why that's important shortly.
- [Understanding Jigsaw daytradr Connectivity & US Futures Data Fees](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/cme-data-fees/): Update: CME Reached out to us, asking us to make a correction to this article:
- [Trading Group Therapy – Discretionary Trading Rules – 30th April](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/discretionary-trading-rules/): In April's group therapy session, we'll discuss discretionary trading rules. It's on 30th April as 12:00pm EST. 
- [Jigsaw daytradr 2.1.0.3 – 64 Bit](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/jigsaw-daytradr-64bit/): Today we are releasing daytradr 2.1.0.3. It will be released in 64 bit  version only. We'd been releasing 32 bit because one of the APIs we support was only available in 32 bit (XTrader API). It's been phased out now, so we are releasing 64 bit. The downside of 32 bit apps is that they can only use a very limited amount of memory, so if you peak temporarily above a certain level - it won't be happy about it.
- [Rithmic Data Usage Warnings](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/rithmic-usage-warnings/): A number of users have contacted us about data usage warnings from Rithmic. Here's an example:
- [The Jigsaw Guide To The End Of The World](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/the-jigsaw-guide-to-the-end-of-the-world/): Following on from our recent article "The Eternal Quest For The Market Bottom!", we see that pundits are still hard at work predicting the end of the move. In this gloriously silly article from Barrons, we can see that the market was definitely going to stop at 2990 or 2750 or 2630 - take your pick, they were all proven to be nonsense.
- [Developing a Game Plan by John Grady](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/pro-trader-john-grady-developing-a-game-plan/): Earlier this week, we were luck to have Tradovate sponsor a with John Grady as speaker. If you don't know John he is the founder of No BS Day Trading. John is an ex-proprietary trader who now trades his own account.  We like to try and get as many people from the professional trading to speak at Jigsaw, even though you might not trade like them right now - their insights are always helpful.
- [The Eternal Quest For The Market Bottom!](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/the-quest-for-the-market-bottom/): It goes without saying that as of writing, the markets are extremely volatile. The long-term picture is one of moving upwards for years with just a couple of significant pullbacks. Now we can see the supply chain being hit by hard Coronavirus fears and the markets have sold off hard.
But, not that hard!
We've really just taken back the gains since October 2019 in a 10 year bull run. 4 months of gains. If you consider that we moved up from 666 to 3400 on the S&P 500 Futures with only 1 major correction in 10 years, then going back to October 2019 prices doesn't sound that bad.
- [Group Therapy – Market Correlations – Recording](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/feb-20-group-therapy-market-correlations/): Last week, we held our monthly group therapy session and this time the focus was Market Correlations. The recording for the webinar has now been uploaded and can be seen below.
- [Which Trading Education is Best For Me?](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/which-trading-education-is-best-for-me/): At Jigsaw, we pride ourselves in offering a range of education options along with our software, something to suit every trader. From the free training you get with daytradr Independent to our Institutional package, it's not always clear which education option is best for you. 
- [daytradr Widgets – Real Time News, Economic Releases](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/daytradr-widgets-real-time-news-economic-releases/): We are really happy to release daytradr 2.1.0.2 today. In this release we are introducing "Widgets".
- [Jigsaw Customer Video – Steve Leigh – The Road To Profit](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/steve-leigh-the-road-to-profit-0/): On 29th January at 12pm EST, we had very special guest to come along and talk about his trading journey. Many of you will know Steve from the Jigsaw chat room and will have seen him post his trade results over and over again. Steve has no professional trading background, he sits at home and trades like most retail traders. Well - with the exception that he does well at it.  He is primarily a scalper, taking small bites out of the market. In the webinar he discussed:
- [Jigsaw daytradr – Keeping your data fees low!](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/jigsaw-daytradr-keeping-your-data-fees-low/): You've probably seen now that the CME data fees will go up in February, so this video covers a number of important aspects of keeping your fees to a minimum.
- [January Group Therapy – Special Guest – Steve Leigh – The Road To Profit](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/steve-leigh-the-road-to-profit/): On 29th January at 12pm EST, we have a very special guest to come along and talk about his trading journey. Many of you will know Steve from the Jigsaw chat room and will have seen him post his trade results over and over again. Steve has no professional trading background, he sits at home and trades like most retail traders. Well - with the exception that he does well at it. Click here to join this Jigsaw hosted event.

This integration is for both daytradr users and users of Journalytix. In addition we've got some other minor improvements.
- [Trading in 2020 – The Plan & The Perils](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/trading-in-2020-the-plan-the-perils/): First of all - Happy New Year. I don't consider it New Year for trading till well into week 2 as it's often low on volume (and I also like an excuse to extend the vacation). January is typically a tight month where a lot of people are paying for the Christmas and New Year excess but it's also a month to which many people attach a lot of hope. Setting a New Years Resolution and then somehow blowing that out the window with a single point of failure and then back to the old bad habits. 
- [UK Election – Traders Guide](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/uk-election-traders-guide/): Unless you've been living under a rock, you'll know it's the UK election tomorrow. An interesting election at that which is going to have some huge ramifications depending on who wins. Now, when I say 'huge ramifications' - I mean for the markets. I'm not making any assumptions that any party will follow through on any promises.
- [daytradr R26 – Momentum Tails, LTQ Column, Tradovate Pause & New Chat](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/daytradr-r26-momentum-tails-ltq-column-tradovate-pause-new-chat/): We are happy to announce the release of Jigsaw daytradr R26 with a number of cool, new features. Note that this is our last release before IB Beta and the long-awaited daytradr Charts & Widgets. In this release we have:

As so many people are jumping on the bandwaggon with Order Flow, we take you back to the basics we've been teaching since 2011. The REALITY of Order Flow, how to learn and what the pitfalls are:
- [Making Improvements In All The Right Places](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/trade-mentorship-results/): There's an interesting couple of lessons I'd like to share from Nathan, a trade mentorship student. About where he found the answers to really improving. Like a lot of traders, Nathan was stuck in a rut with his trading. His story is common. He's been looking at trading for about 7 years. He did what most people do at the start - get ripped off by a shady education outfit. Then he started studying chart patterns and price action but nothing was consistent & there were way too many variables. He finally found John Grady at No BS Day Trading who introduced him to Jigsaw. He felt he was in the right place but couldn't get himself past a number of issues, so he signed up for a trade mentorship. Here's his own words about his issues:
- [Do futures traders do better than currency traders?](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/forex-vs-future/): Over the years, we've answered thousands of traders' questions. We've decided to make the answers public, so that everyone can benefit from them. This question is from someone considering Jigsaw:
- [Seven Most Effective Trading Setups](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/seven-most-effective-trading-setups/): We are happy to announce that we'll be presenting a webinar "The Seven Most Effective Trading Setups" at 4:30pm EST on Thursday 17th October.

- [Learn to Trade with Situational Awareness](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/learn-to-trade-situational-awareness/):  
Developing situational awareness is a key discipline for professional traders as they learn to trade. But is it something that you at home should concern yourself with? Let's consider 2 extreme scenarios:
- [Trading Group Therapy – Situational Awareness – 3 Oct, 11am EST](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/trading-group-therapy-situational-awareness-11am-3-oct/): On 3rd October, 11am EST, we'll be presenting a group-therapy webinar entitled "Situational Awareness".

- [Trading Bigger and Better – 81 Live Trade Videos. £500,000 trading day. Trading Firm Tour.](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/pro-trader-joe-live-trade/): Over the past 2 years, one young trader has been making his way from trading just a handful of contracts to trading 80 contract positions in the ES (all live trade), 50 contract positions in Crude and Gold and up to 300 contracts on the Bund Futures on Eurex. From 3 lots to 300 is amazing progress in 2 years and the trader isn't even 25 years old yet.
- [The Headfake & the ‘News Addicted’ Market – Trade Entry](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/the-headfake-the-news-addicted-market-trade-entry/):  
There's been a lot of focus in the press/blogs recently about increased volatility in the markets. Trump Tweets, China Trade, Interest Rate speculation, Brexit and just a few days ago - Saudi Oil disruption. What's not been mentioned much is what happens when the news subsides. Has this volatility killed off another side of the market? Going back a few years, we'd get very healthy speculative moves on the S&P Futures with 3-4 intraday moves of 10-15 point. We'd often end the day exactly where we started. The market giving the impression that a lot of trading went on but everyone that got in, also got out and we ended up back at the starting point. Right now, on days where we don't have Geo-Political news, there's a real lack of volatility.
- [On Demand Market Replay in Jigsaw 2.0.0.20](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/on-demand-market-replay-in-jigsaw-2-0-0-20/): In this video, I'll show you how to use Tradovate Market Replay with Jigsaw daytradr. This is available in daytradr version 2.0.0.20.
- [Profiting from Increased Market Volatility, Post Labor-Day Expectations](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/trading-market-volatility/): Increased market volatility should lead to increased profits from larger moves in the market. For most traders though, the opposite is true and it leads to increased losses. This article presents a rational approach to handling increased volatility.
- [Summer Market Survival Kit!](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/summer-market-survival/): It's summer time again and that means ice cream, sun burn and awful summer market trading conditions. Many of you will be experiencing your first exposure to summer market dynamics this year. In this article, we'll go over how to handle this as a new or experienced trader.
- [Video – When a Breakout Trade Fails (swimming with the sharks)](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/video-when-a-breakout-trade-fails-swimming-with-the-sharks/):  
The Breakout trade is one of the most popular setups around. For that, and a number of other reasons, this also makes it an area where large players can nudge the market around. Typically that involves pushing the market so that the breakout trade sets up and then sitting on the other side of the market absorbing the trading before finally pushing people out of position. If you consider the typical intraday range - it's typically a non-directional market at a slow time. Contracts build up and so does impatience to get into the market. This lack of large money participating plus the impatience in smaller traders means it's relatively safe and rewarding to nudge the market around a bit.
- [When Technicals say Yes, but Order Flow says No! by Axia Futures](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/trade-confirmation-when-technicals-say-yes-but-order-flow-says-no/):  
One of the most beneficial uses of Order Flow is using for trade confirmation and often that means to  not get into the market. Of course, lot's of traders are so focused on getting into trades, they only want trade confirmation to tell them to get into a trade. Sometimes, though - the best thing to do is stand aside.
- [Effective Trader Education. When Markets go ‘vague’, Scaling into Trades & Trading when Employed](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/effective-trader-education-when-markets-go-vague-scaling-into-trades-trading-when-employed/): As part of our ongoing commitment to Effective Trader Education, we had 2 great webinars last week and as requested, here are including the recordings and the slides for both.

Topics are chosen ahead of time and a short intro-presentation done to give the Jigsaw perspective on these topics & we then opened the floor for discussion.

It's certainly an idea that is planted in the heads of many aspiring traders. You've probably seen it, those "magic beans" systems for sale that work in all markets, on all timeframes, in all conditions. It's a great sales pitch because it basically covers everything. It's not very realistic and every professional trader I've ever met specializes in certain areas, so there is no precedent for it in the real world of trading.

Unusually slow and choppy for the time of year. We've had 2 presidents threatening to nuke each other - and the markets barely reacted. We've made all time highs, which were met with a yawn.

How do we Overcome it?](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/self-sabotage-trading-exactly-overcome/): As most traders quickly learn, trading is guaranteed to connect you with all of those ‘emotional skeletons’ residing deep in the depths of your unconscious mind waiting to be activated. These emotional skeletons in the closet are like ‘sleeper’ secret agents waiting to be triggered by some event or emotion.

- [Looking beyond price – Finding ‘reaction points’ with Order Flow](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/looking-beyond-price-finding-reaction-points-order-flow/): When a market is moving sideways, it’s often better to just quit trading for the day. Markets will typically have high activity at their ‘open’ time where institutional traders are most active. After that, it’s a game of speculation, most markets will put in swings with decent momentum (for that market) one way and the other as speculators jump on moves, then take profits and then jump on the counter move. Days where we put in a one way move are the exception, not the rule.

As many of you know, I personally prefer to trade more liquid markets like the index futures, but the same concepts apply in all markets. What tends to happen in thinner markets like crude is that you see the same things but often occurring over a series of prices instead of one.
- [Day Trading the Open – Video](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/day-trading-the-open-video/): In this video we discuss day trading the open. Not the opening range but the open itself. Not the first 90 minutes but the first few minutes. In some cases, taking trades within the first couple of minutes of the market opening. As with any trading opportunity, there’s more than one way to approach it in terms of trade management and we’ll discuss that too. But the opportunity itself is often available within seconds of the open.

- [All Bets Are Off!](https://www.jigsawtrading.com/blog/all-bets-are-off/): We got hit with some major volatility yesterday with a 19.5 point move up in 2 minutes (but only 53k contracts traded) and then a 1 minute 16 point drop, again with just 26k contracts traded. Big swings with relatively low volume means that the liquidity disappeared. Just after that, a fellow trader sent me a link to this article.... The Market Has Just Gone Nuts | Zero Hedge The upshot being that there's US$1.1 trillion in S&P500 options expiring Friday with a lot of them being puts just below where the market is. Now - a couple of things to consider there. 1 - People tend to overblow the numbers when they talk about derivatives. The nominal value of a single emini S&P500 contract is a little over $100k but obviously when you trade a contract, you are not risking $100. So when people report numbers, they tend to do so in the most newsworthy manner. So there is a tendency to pump up the numbers to the highest one that fits. 2 - Regardless of the fact the market is overweight puts, there were buyers and sellers of those puts. So there's people on both sides of that trade, people that will benefit if it goes down, people that will benefit if it goes up. 3 - Many of the puts will not have been speculative trades but hedges, so some of the holders wont care what the market does. But still - that's a lot of money on the line and we can't expect either side to just sit by the sidelines and wait it out. Tennis is not considered a dangerous sport, but it becomes dangerous when playing in a court full of elephants. In my opinion, that's what we have today. We have a potential FED rate hike (or not) and we have a lot of people that stand to benefit and lose based on where price ends up on Friday. So it could get interesting. My own method of looking at the market is to look for areas I think speculators might jump on board and then joining when they do. I don't think this is that type of market. That presumes that speculators are the main players and that liquidity providers are doing their job in a fairly safe environment. I think the market conditions - will cause liquidity providers to be extra cautious (i.e. missing) and for speculators like myself to be less significant. There is the potential for the markets to get pushed around. In short, it's more dangerous to trade right now and in addition, my own method of analyzing the market is based on a set of presumptions that cannot be relied on from here till Friday. That doesn't mean you can't trade it. I will watch it and see and possibly try to scale into a trade if the market puts in a run. If liquidity disappears, I won't even try that.
